Red Apple Ber (Ziziphus mauritiana ‘Red’):

A highly popular jujube variety famous for its vibrant dark-red fruits that closely resemble small apples, featuring dense, extra-crisp, juicy white flesh with a high sugar content and pleasant sweetness.

Grafted and budded plants adapt exceptionally well to home gardens or large pots, maintaining a naturally dwarf bushy shape and bearing heavy crops within just 6 to 12 months!

Description

Red Ber Apple (Ziziphus mauritiana) grows best in 6–8 hours of direct sunlight and thrives in warm, tropical climates. Water regularly during the early growth stage, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering sessions once established. It grows well in well-drained soil and is highly drought-tolerant once mature, making it suitable for tropical gardens.

Recommended Planting Method for Best Results

For healthy growth and strong establishment, prepare a 2–3 ft deep pit. If available, place a layer of green leaves at the bottom. Mix 1.5 kg bone meal, 1 kg oil cake, 20 kg raw cow or goat dung, and 100 g urea with an equal quantity of soil, then fill the pit and cover it with soil.

Leave the pit for about one month, watering it daily so the mixture decomposes well. After one month, mix the contents again and add 100 g calcium or dolomite. Wait one more week, then plant the sapling.

If you need to plant immediately and cannot wait for the one-month decomposition period, do not add oil cake or calcium/dolomite; use only the soil, manure, bone meal, and urea mixture for planting.
